Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedA- TradesA FutureA
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a A- for the Falcons.

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

On value alone, Fautanu makes the weekend a net positive. They will need Hall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end it comes back to Michael Penix Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. at pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They will replay Troy Fautanu at pick No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 3, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 79, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A tidy bit of business in No. 143, where Roger Rosengarten graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the 197th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Bub Means
They went early on Bub Means in the 234th pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
